As offensive coordinator search widens, Jets face potential roadblocks

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets will have a new offensive coordinator in 2023, their ninth different OC in the last 13 years. There's probably less turnover at the local burger joint, but coach Robert Saleh hopes to start a new trend with his choice for Mike LaFleur's replacement.

Saleh is well into his search, having interviewed at least six candidates for the vacancy, said sources familiar with the search. On Wednesday, he spoke with former Denver Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett, ESPN's Dianna Russini reported. Hackett has a distant connection to the Jets; his father, Paul, was the offensive coordinator from 2001 to 2004.
